Mum to travel to Barcelona to obtain medicinal cannabis for her son over Christmas

The mother of a toddler who suffers from intractable seizures is travelling to Barcelona next week in order to obtain the THC form of medicinal cannabis as she fears that his condition will "nosedive" at Christmas.

Noreen O'Neill, mother of two-year-old Michael, said that her son is currently taking CBD oil. However, he is at the maximum dosage for his body weight. She is concerned that he will go downhill over Christmas and that doctors won't be able to do anything to save him if he presents at hospital.
